Problems solved by technology

However, the adsorption capacity is low and the overall recovery of butanol is low
Liu et al. (Liu F, Liu L, Feng X. Separation of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) from dilute aqueous solutions by pervaporation) used polyether block amide copolymer membranes to separate ABE fermentation broth, but pervaporation separated biotin Alcohol is greatly affected by the properties of the membrane material itself, and the cost is high
DIJK (WO 2008 / 095896A1) and others use a microporous resin with an ultra-high crosslinking degree to separate bio-butanol, but the resin has a certain amount of adsorption to acetone and ethanol at the same time, which increases the cost of the later ABE separation process

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for separating butanol fermentation liquor by using continuous chromatography. The butanol fermentation liquor is ABE (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) fermentation liquor. The process is characterized by comprising the steps of carrying out filtration and ultrafiltration treatment on the butanol fermentation liquor, then, pumping the obtained clear liquid into a continuous separating device containing a hydrophobic macroporous polymer adsorbent for adsorption, carrying out desorption by using ethanol as a desorbent so as to obtain a product butanol, and carrying out adsorbent regeneration by using pure water as a regenerant. According to the process, the aim of separating and purifying butanol is realized through the continuous device by using adsorption and elution competition actions among three ingredients, i.e., acetone, ethanol and butanol, the content of butanol in an upper layer of product liquid can reach over 29-32wt%, the purity of butanol is over 91%, and the average yield is 99%; and the volume of an extracting solution is reduced, a solvent in the extracting solution is self-produced ethanol or acetone in the butanol fermentation liquor, and no other ingredient is added during extraction, so that a large number of energy is saved to further recover various ingredients through the traditional rectification method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology processing, and in particular relates to a method for extracting butanol from butanol fermentation liquid by using continuous chromatography technology. Background technique [0002] Butanol (n-butanol or 1-butanol) and its derivatives are important chemical raw materials, widely used in food, medicine, agriculture, chemical energy and other fields. Butanol is mainly used in the production of butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate plasticizers in various plastic and rubber industries, accounting for about 40% of the total butanol consumption; butanol can also be used in the synthesis of drugs, Such as antibiotics, vitamins and hormones, etc., and as the extractant of spices, the best diluent for brake fluid. Because the energy density, air-fuel ratio, heat of vaporization and octane number of butanol are close to those of gasoline, it can be mixed with gasoline in a certain proportion without complete...
